Prompt 2:

The Philadelphia Forge have had quite the off season. Coming off the back of a third place finish in the Atlantic division it could have been tempting to hold fast and take the conservative route during the off season, especially considering the relative strength of both the Baltimore Platoon and the Tampa Bay Barracuda. However with Montreal electing to tear it all down in an effort to compete with the perrenial powerhouses in the Great Lakes Division the opportunity to sign a proven top line forward was irresistable. Acquiring Kaarlo Kekkonen for a pretty modest outgoing gave the Forge a bonifide superstar to lead the team. On top of this we also managed to land Samuel Michaud in free agency which bolstered an already incredibly strong blue line. With the addition of both of these top class players as well as the promotion of Evil AllBran there is a really positive feeling around the team going into the new season and expectations are high that we can make a push to get out of the first round this season.
